  1. Under OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom 2012), how many sections must a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) contain?

    Answer: 16

    OSHA's HazCom 2012 standard, aligned with GHS, requires all SDSs to have exactly 16 standardized sections.

  2. A plant manager discovers that a contractor is performing hot work near flammable storage without a permit. The FIRST action should be to:

    Answer: Stop the work immediately and remove personnel from the area

    Imminent danger situations require work to stop and personnel to be removed before any documentation or agency notification.

    Answer: 29 CFR 1910.147

    29 CFR 1910.147, the Lockout/Tagout standard, covers the control of hazardous energy during servicing and maintenance.

  4. The EPA's Risk Management Program (RMP) under Clean Air Act Section 112(r) requires facilities to submit an RMP plan when they:

  6. In a manufacturing plant, the hierarchy of controls places which option at the highest level of effectiveness for reducing hazards?

    Answer: Elimination

    Elimination—physically removing the hazard—is the most effective control because it eradicates the risk entirely.

  7. OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM) standard applies to processes that involve chemicals at or above specified threshold quantities and:

    Answer: Are highly hazardous chemicals listed in Appendix A of 1910.119

    PSM coverage is determined by whether a process involves highly hazardous chemicals listed in 29 CFR 1910.119 Appendix A at or above threshold quantities.
